So far, I like the V330.  I took it with me down to San Diego this
weekend.  I use TMO on this phone.  The phone had good reception
everywhere, even on an aircraft carrier.

Coming from the Kyocera, the thngs I notice are lack of address book.
I can live with out it, but I admit I got used to it with the Kyocera.

The only charging of the phone I've done is in the car and I'm pretty
sure the phone stayed on.  Is this a wall charger issue with it
shutting down?

My only real problem thus far is getting the phone to sync with my Mac
through Bluetooth.  I suspect this is a Mac issue though.  I'm working
on it, so time will tell.

After the 7135 the V330 feels very small.

Ooopsie. Did some Googling this weekend and it looks like I had
confused some proposed legislation from last year with actual law. When
I had bought my camera cell phone last year, I remembered reading about
all sorts of uproar about people being able to sneak photos while
pretending to be on the phone, etc. I guess this was when cameras
started  becoming a common feature of cell phones. So looks like, from
the articles I could find online, that there was proposed legislation
in Congress to outlaw sneaked photos with cell phone cameras under
skirts, in areas where people expect privacy, etc. and a proposal in
California to require all cell phone cameras there to emit an audible
noise. Couldn't find anything that indicated if any of the the proposed
legislation passed or not, so I would assume it didn't. One of the
articles I read did say that a law had been passed in South Korea
requiring a noise from a cell phone camera, so I wouldn't doubt that
Congress might try to pass a similar law here in the States.

I've seen both 15 seconds and eight seconds mentioned on
HowardForums.com. Can someone who actually has the T-Mo version of the
RAZR please clarify?

First, re the MAC interface, check out
http://www.datapilot.com/mac_features.htm.  I have the PC edition of
Data Pilot and it's a very good program well supported and well worth
the money.  Works with both the v600 & the v3 (as well as most other
phones). Allows picture transfers to your PC from the camera.

Now to the first part of your question. Having owned a v600 for about
year before getting the v3, here are the differences as I see them.
Others may see them differently:

Reception - markedly better. Marginal locations are much improved.
Displays - FAR superior to the v600 unless they've upgraded it.
Brighter, sharper lettering and clearer pictures. Extra width of phone
means slightly larger screen size.
Camera - better - but don't throw out your Nikon... or your Brownie.
Size - The phone is the same width as the old StarTAC which, frankly, I
find much easier to hold than the thinner but thicker v600. My hands are
average size.
Antenna - Internal antenna superior to external. Dosen't get stuck in
your pocket and won't break off. Location is at bottom of phone further
from eyeballs (I'm not saying that phone signals will hurt you; only
mentioning it because of claims made by some that they may).
Screens - the screen windows both inside and out are made of the same
type of scratch resistant material as used in fine watch crystals. After
8 months both screens are absolutely perfect on the v3. The v600 uses a
plastic film that scratches easily. In fact, after a few months the
outline of the keypad is permanently etched to the screen.
Case - The metal case on the v3 is strong and scratch resistant. Still
looks new even after a couple of drops.  The v600 metal parts are good
but the big plastic piece in the center tends to develop cracks near the
hinge and scuffs easily.
Keypad - Easier (again for ME) to dial on the v3. Letters are harder to
read but I don't text much.

Hope that's detailed enough ;o)    To me the v600 (now a 2+ year old
phone) appears old and clunky (once again to ME) while the Razr,
approaching it's first birthday, is still an outstanding looking phone.
While I wouldn't tolerate poor quality for style, it's nice to have
both. Motorola really outdid themselves with this phone and if I lost
mine I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

I'm sure others will have some different opinions and what I see as good
another may find not so good - that's why they still sell both! The v600
is not a bad phone by any means but the v3 is a worth evolution in a
damn fine lookin' package.

I don't believe the Moto has a complete address book that will iSync
street addresses or multiple phone numbers per contact.  If you need
that then look at the Nokia Series 60 or SE P9x0 phones which will
exactly sync whats on your Mac including address book pictures.
